My cholesterol went up 22 points in 6 months.

Here’s the part nobody explains to women in their 40s. 👇🏽

Estrogen helps your liver clear LDL from your blood. In perimenopause, estrogen starts swinging, and LDL can climb even if you’re doing “everything right.”

The SWAN study followed 1,054 women and found LDL and ApoB rise most sharply around the final period.

What I’d ask your provider for:
✅ ApoB
✅ Lp(a) (genetic, test once; mine’s 93)
✅ A coronary calcium score (mine’s 0 🙌🏽)

In August my labs looked like menopause. In September they looked like I was cycling normally. Same woman. Same cycle. 😳
Day 29: FSH 39, estrogen under 30.
Day 62: FSH 4.9, estrogen 107.
That’s perimenopause. Hormones don’t decline in a straight line. They swing, sometimes wildly, within a single cycle.
If someone tells you “your hormones are fine” off ONE blood draw, ask: what cycle day was it? 👀

Last night, I attended a presentation by Dr. Sharica Brookins, M.D., FASN, Nephrologist & Nutritionist of Remote Renal Care here in Augusta where she discussed Vitamin D among other important topics. Her message inspired me to create this message about my own journey towards having optimal Vitamin D levels 💪🏾

My Vitamin D in 2026: 15 → 19 → 23. 📈
5 months on Vitamin D patches alone: +4.

Added a daily liposomal Vitamin D on top. 33 days later: another +4.

Still not optimal. Round 4 coming.

Normal isn’t optimal.
You can’t fix what you don’t test.

To all the my God-first family members and entrepreneurs, I wanted to let you know that I’m proud of you 💞

Raise you hand ✋🏽 if you’ve had menopause brain 🧠 before …

🧠If you’ve been feeling unfocused, more emotional than usual, or like your thoughts are moving through fog — you’re not alone. Menopause can shift the way the brain processes stress, memory, and concentration. It’s not a failure. It’s physiology.

When estrogen fluctuates, the brain works harder to keep balance. That can look like losing your train of thought mid‑sentence, crying over things you’d normally brush off, or staring at a task you’ve done a hundred times and suddenly feeling stuck.

But hear me clearly: this season is not a decline. It’s a recalibration. Your brain is learning a new rhythm, and you are still capable, still powerful, still you.

Give yourself grace. Slow down when you need to. Support your mind with movement, hydration, rest, and routines that help you feel grounded. And remember — this fog lifts. Your clarity returns. Your strength never left.

BioFest Atlanta Day 1

We didn’t do one thing. We built three that worked together: personal training built around what her body could actually handle, nutrition coaching that adjusted as she changed, and medically supervised tirzepatide — prescribed and monitored by her provider, not something we hand out ourselves.

The result: -27 lbs. -13.4 points of body fat. +6 lbs of muscle. Visceral fat down 8 levels. No plateau, no rebound month — just steady progress for nine straight months.

Medication can start the process. It can’t build the muscle or teach the habits that keep the weight off. If you’re on it — or thinking about it — pair it with a plan from day one.

📩 DM “MORE” if you want to talk about what that could look like for you.

Individual results vary. Beth’s outcomes reflect medically supervised treatment combined with personal training and nutrition coaching over 9 months.

There’s a difference between working out… and being coached. 💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼
When you train 1‑on‑1, you’re not guessing. You’re guided. You’re supported. You’re held accountable in a way that actually moves the needle.

A personal coach sees what you can’t — your form, your effort, your habits, your blind spots. And they help you correct them in real time, so every rep is safer, stronger, and more effective.

You get a program built for your body, your goals, your lifestyle. No cookie‑cutter workouts. No wasted time. Just intentional training that delivers results.

And the biggest benefit? You’re not doing it alone. You have someone in your corner — pushing you when you need it, slowing you down when necessary, and reminding you that you’re capable of more than you think.

Resilience belongs in the gym, not in your life. 💪🏽💪🏼💪🏿

In training, resilience is the goal — your body adapts, recovers, and comes back stronger under load.

But “resilience” in everyday life? That’s often just a nicer word for pushing through pain you shouldn’t have to carry alone.

You don’t need to “stay strong” through a toxic job. You don’t need to “push through” a relationship that drains you. You’re allowed to rest, ask for help, walk away, or say this isn’t working — without calling it weakness.

Save the grinding for leg day. 🦵🏽🦵🏼🦿
